Is there an agreement on the use of cardboard sleeves

[kiki123]

The reason I ask is I work in a delivery office scanning tracked and the past few weeks I have been getting a lot of tracked arriving in cardboard sleeves and whenever I undo the straps packets fall on the floor not only is my back hurting from picking them up I can't see a safe way of dealing with this and think it breaks the safe system of working agreement

Your local MC is probably short on normal sleeves

But they shouldn't be using them without agreement from RM HQ and CWU HQ . So why are they

Occasionally and very exceptionally CWU HQ and Royal Mail HQ agree short term and controlled dispensation from the above during short periods at Christmas pressure time or peak pressure times only, if ALP Sleeve production and supply cannot meet operational demands. However this is subject to agreement and joint instructions issued by both CWU/HQ and Royal Mail HQ. The Central Postal Control/Container Team is the point of contact to agree contingency use.

SO I would report failure to comply with agreement through the Union sharpest.

I'm afraid if your local MC has run low on normal sleeves it's a case of tough luck, the mail has to be transported to DOs somehow and DBFs generally aren't an option in any MC
